Kylie Jenner Wears Réalisation Par Shanghai Nights Dress on Instagram

Cultural appropriation in fashion has received more attention in recent years as consumers use social media as a platform to call it out. From their hairstyles to their outfits, the Kardashian/Jenner family is a repeat offender — and people aren't afraid to call them out on it. This week, Kylie may have put herself in the midst of another scandal when she posted a mirror selfie of wearing the Shanghai Nights dress by controversial “dream girl” brand Realisation.

The dress is a '90s style mini made of silk with a self-proclaimed, “far east”-inspired pattern. The site’s description of the dress doesn’t specify where the pattern comes from but instead draws on inspiration from "wild times" in both Shanghai (China) and Tokyo (Japan) as if Asian countries share one big, monolithic culture. “We couldn’t ring in the new year without creating a tribute dress to the Far East and all the wild times we’ve had there. From Shanghai to Tokyo, we have had some of the most fun and the worst hangovers but always the best memories.”

This isn’t the first time the brand has come under fire for the description of their dresses. Recently they were called out by Dazed Magazine for writing a sexist description about a mini dress. It read that the dress was so cute it would act as a “get out of jail free” card with men.

With the description for Kylie's dress, they didn't properly credit the look's origin, and they lumped two distinct cultures into one, resulting in yet another confusing piece of marketing by the brand.
